Saul Millan (b.1994) is a Composer, Multi Instrumentalist and Artist from the Bordertown of Ambos Nogales.
With attention to site specific performances, Millan's improvisation driven works create spaces of reflection for performers and audiences alike. Creating at the intersection of sound, installation, assemblage and print media, Saul makes works inspired by music culture, nationalism, humor, language and colonization; Themes that have shaped our collective aural memory. Often using trash as material for installation, assemblage, Readymade sculpture and collage, Millan "Samples" objects hidden in our surroundings, re-orchestrating their meaning through analog and digital transformation.
"Sampling" - (the process of taking a piece of audio and reworking it as part of a new composition)
